The functionality of the AquaSpear and ZeoSleeve are incorporated into the loose granular media and are no longer applicable to this new filter. The two-part filtration system includes a proprietary loose granular media which contains zeolite and fine coconut carbon media blend and the proprietary pleat pack which has been engineered to filter out biological, chemical and emerging contaminants. It does so with an incredible flow rate – as easy as drinking water through a straw.

The EPA and NSF have determined which contaminants are the most detrimental to our health and have set limits for these contaminants. The list is not comprehensive list – but the best recommendation and frame of reference. We test for many more contaminants. You can reference those on our website for the complete list of contaminants we test for. Also, for the key microbial and chemical contaminants we meet or exceed those standards.

While most people think drinking water from the tap is safe, they don’t realize that bacteria and viruses can be swimming in your drinking glass, and traces of toxic metals and industrial contaminants are found in nearly every city water system. The laws for monitoring US tap water have not been updated for over 40 years, and the government requires testing for only 91 out of thousands of contaminants known to be dangerous.

The Puritii Water Filter slightly raises the pH of the water put into the bottle, but the change is so small that we do not reportor claim that the filter produces alkaline water. Alkaline water isa growing trend and may offer some health benefits, but these currently have little scientific backing. Every substance we take into our bodies (food, water, supplements, etc.) has an inherent pH that may be either acidic or basic. Soda, for example, is usually between pH 2-3 and is akin to drinking undiluted vinegar. Most vegetables and fruits have alkaline forming compounds. To say that alkaline water has a health effect above that of a healthy and pH-appropriate diet is currently scientifically unsupported.

​

Each organ system within our bodies has an inherent pH and the ability to buffer incoming substances, be they acidic or alkaline. The Puritii Water Filter removes dangerous chemicals, bacteria, and viruses that are common in tap and bottled water while maintaining the original pH (the pH of tap water is regulated to be between 6.5 and 9.5, so your tap water may be alkaline already).Because we cannot definitively recommend alkaline water from a health standpoint, we have not included that feature in our Puritii Water Filter and do not plan to incorporate it into future versions of the product.

The Puritii filter was specifically designed to filter fresh water, not salt water.

Zero Water is double distilled water that no longer contains useful minerals. Distilled water is also known as “hungry water” in that it attracts minerals from the body to itself, a process known as chelation, and is harmful for the body. Once the water passes through the kidneys, some of these vital nutrients are expelled and long-term use can result in damaging mineral deficiency. While Puritii removes harmful chemicals, toxins, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds, it does not remove these essential minerals and it therefore does not produce what is known as “Zero Water.”

The recommended time to change filters is 60 gallons – or about every 2 months with daily use.

The new filter saves over 450 plastic water bottles per unit. Both Puritii bottles are reusable and recyclable.

Puritii is specifically designed to filter unwanted substances from fresh water sources. It is not meant to filter other liquids, such as coffee, soda, tea, salt water, juice, etc.

The good news is it is easy now! Because of how the pleat pack is designed—it allows for three times the flow rate than the old one.

Our filters work to remove harmful substances like toxins and chemicals, while leaving behind beneficial minerals for optimal health. These minerals are what is showing up on your test.

Available in 16-ounce stainless steel or 25-ounce, eco-friendly Tritan™ plastic, free of BPAs, BPSs or any other bisphenols, and EA-free. Puritii water bottles are leak proof, dishwasher safe and perfect for home, office and on-the-go!

We are testing the fluoride and expect to have the testing results back soon. Check the website often for updated study results.

Bacteria Removal: 99.9999% (including E. coli, Klebsiella, Vibrio cholerae and many more)

​

Virus Removal: 99.99% (including coronavirus, hepatitis A virus (HAV), poliovirus, and polyomavirus)

​

Protozoa Removal: 99.99% (including Cyclospora cayetanensis, Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts), and Giardia lamblia)

​

Parasites Removal: 99.99% (including Ascaris lumbricoides, Schistosoma mansoni, Dracunculus medinensis, and many more)

​

Chemical Reduction: Activated coconut shell carbon reduces chemical residue such as: waterborne chemicals, pesticides, VOCs, chemical pollutants, radioactive substances, medical residues, and heavy metals.

“Log” stands for logarithm, which is the exponent of 10. For example, Log-2 represents 102 or 10 x 10 or 100. Log Reduction stands for a 10-fold (one decimal) or 90% reduction in numbers of live bacteria.

​

99.9999% purity is a 6-log reduction, which means the bacteria being filtered out are reduced by 1,000,000 times. Consider this:

​

1 Log Reduction: 90% of bacteria filtered; number of bacteria is 10 times smaller (1 in 10 survives)

2 Log Reduction: 99% of bacteria filtered; number of bacteria is 100 times smaller (1 in 100 survives)

3 Log Reduction: 99.9% of bacteria filtered; number of bacteria is 1,000 times smaller (1 in 1000 survives)

4 Log Reduction: 99.99% of bacteria filtered; number of bacteria is 10,000 times smaller (1 in 10,000 survives)

5 Log Reduction: 99.999% of bacteria filtered; number of bacteria is 100,000 times smaller (1 in 100,000 survives)

6 Log Reduction: 99.9999% of bacteria filtered; number of bacteria is 1,000,000 times smaller (1 in 1,000,000 survives)

​

Most competitors that have portable water bottle filters only go up to 3 or 4-Log Reduction of bacteria and is not powerful enough to filter viruses. The fact that Puritii can exceed 6-Log Reduction with bacteria and exceed 4-Log Reduction with virus is a breakthrough in water filtration technologies.

You may notice a fine carbon dust only with your first use of the filter. Completely safe and harmless to ingest, this is a part of the filter design and comes from the proprietary media blend of zeolite and fine ground coconut carbon.

It functions much like a net that keeps out the contaminants—and it’s a much bigger net than the old filter. This net basically keeps the contaminants from getting through the filter.

​

One other unique aspect of the filter is that it emits a positive electrostatic charge which attracts the negatively-charged microbial and chemical impurities, acting much like a magnet to trap these contaminants in the filter media.

​

This filter is also antimicrobial.

Yes, we have a filter adapter that will work with both the plastic and stainless steel. Of course, we encourage you to try the new and better Tritan plastic bottle!

Unopened Puritii water filters can be stored in an area of low humidity and away from extreme temperatures for up to one year.

​

Used filters must be dried thoroughly and placed in a sealable bag for storage. Inspect the filter before using it again for signs of mold or damage.

The Puritii bottles are patented while the filter and its technologies are currently patent pending.

Absolutely! But use special care because pressure can force liquid out through the straw and you may experience some leakage through the bite valve or seals. Keep the bottle right side up with the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of “spurt” during the first sip. You may also open the cap to release any pressure and then close before your first sip.

Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. In recent years, there has been increasing consumer demand for a bottle that is not made with Bisphenol-A (BPA) because of medical studies linking it to birth defects, cancers, and other serious health problems. ARIIX is proud to offer BPA-free Puritii bottles with the same great properties customers have come to expect from polycarbonate: vibrant color, clarity, durability, dishwasher-safe, and with no residual taste.

One filter is designed to filter 60 gallons or 7680 fluid ounces of water. The typical bottled water is 16.9 fluid ounces. 7680/16.9 = 454.4 which means one Puritii filter can filter about 454 typical bottles’ worth of water before a new one is needed. With the average bottle water on the go being $1.18 the Puritii Filter will save you hundreds of dollars and you will be saving hundreds of plastic bottles polluting our planet!
